Within the fire protection we can distinguish two types: the active protection, which is helping to extinguish the fire that has already begun, and passive protection, which is what prevents the occurrence of the fire situation or minimize their effects.
The passive protective coatings have added materials that prevent the initiation of fire spread, and especially fire fighting intumescences (formation of a critical mass of coal); these elements have a coefficient of thermal transmission very low, running as insulating substrate.
Treating the coatings against fire:
These coatings are made of materials with additions of special substances that require some care in use:
Do not release chemicals, solvents, water or cleaning flower beds, etc. on the surface of these coatings, and that could affect the nature of their materials.
